When Prince Okamoto walked into the meeting room, the audience fell silent instead.
All eyes were on Prince Okamoto, as if waiting for the trial of fate.
Modo II still maintains a straight sitting posture, and the expression on his face is still indifferent, but if you observe carefully, you can see his slightly trembling hands.
Obviously, this troll emperor is not as calm as he appears on the surface.
Waiting patiently for Prince Okamoto to finish his salute, Modo II asked the doubts in his heart: "Okamoto, why are you coming back at this time? Where is your army?"
Hearing this, Prince Okamoto knelt down neatly on the ground, and said with a sad expression: "Your Majesty, I have failed your trust... The Black Cavalry Army has seen through our plot, and the 100,000 troops going south have... all The army is gone!"
"What?" Modo II exclaimed. He could no longer maintain the grace and bearing that an emperor should have. He immediately jumped up from the throne and cursed:
"You idiot! What's going on? Where's my one hundred thousand army? How long has it been? How could the entire army be wiped out like this
And what do you mean when you say that the black cavalry have seen through our plot? How did they figure it out? Did someone leak it
Say, say! "
Prince Okamoto prostrated himself on the ground, recounting the general history of the previous battle, and then immediately dumped the pot:
"Your Majesty, it's all because Charles betrayed us! He has already revealed our plan to Colin, so the Black Cavalry Army will know that the Troll King City is a trap.
Because of this, Colin Angelet learned that the southward army I led had only an empty shell, so he waited outside Windhowl Castle and ambushed us... "
"Bullshit!" Prince Meruvi stepped forward and kicked Prince Okamoto to the ground, roaring, "What empty shell? You have a hundred thousand troops under your command! Among them are 30,000 elites, and even 3,000 wolves ride!
You tell me, how could the black cavalry army of only 10,000 people destroy an army of 100,000 in such a short period of time? "
"Okay." Prince Abbas said suddenly, "When encountering the Black Cavalry in the open field, even if the troops are superior, who of you dare to say that you can retreat unscathed? Meluwei, do you dare?"
The veins on Prince Meruwe's forehead were throbbing. It seemed that Prince Abbas's questioning brought back some unpleasant memories. His breath became heavier and his face flushed red, but he didn't know it was because of anger. Still because of shame.
"Abbas! Are you trying to excuse a defeated general?"
"I don't mean to excuse Okamoto. I just want to remind you that this fiasco is not solely the responsibility of Okamoto! I reminded you at the beginning that although Charles has resentment towards his father, he may not be willing. Really do things for us.
Look, now it really is him who has a problem! "
"Ahem." At this time, Modo II couldn't hold his face anymore, because Prince Abbas's words also made him feel embarrassed.
After all, he was also in favor of Mr. Ji's plan to lure the enemy back then, but he thought that not only failed to lure the black cavalry army to attack the troll king's city, but ruined an army instead.
"It's not yet time to pursue responsibility. The top priority is how to deal with the black cavalry entrenched in Windhowl Castle?"
Facing the question of Modo II, Prince Abbas immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, I still stick to my previous point of view—negotiate peace!"
"Negotiate peace!" Prince Meruvi cursed again, "Abbas, you scum of the troll clan, you have been thinking about negotiating peace with the northern border all day! Demons coexist peacefully?"
"Why not? Goblins can do it, dwarves can do it, half-elves can do it, why can't we trolls?"
"The races you mentioned are weak enough, so humans can accommodate them."
"Hehe, Meruwe, have you forgotten that Okamoto just reached a peace agreement with the Duke of St. Hilde not long ago."
"Bullshit peace agreement!" Prince Meruwe spit on Prince Abbas's face, "It's just that the Duke of St. Hilde needs time to resolve internal conflicts, so he is willing to temporarily truce with us. Wait until If he frees his hand, he will definitely not let us go!"
"You're just making unfounded speculation..."
"Okay!" Modo II interrupted the quarrel between the two princes again, "Meluwei, since you don't agree with the peace negotiation, what do you think should be done?"
"Your Majesty, we don't need to do anything now, the Black Cavalry will leave naturally!" Prince Meruvi said confidently:
"Since the plan has been leaked, the Black Cavalry Army will of course know that there are still 50,000 elite troops in the Royal City. Therefore, as long as Colin Angelet has some sense, it is impossible to drive the precious cavalry to attack the Royal City.
Therefore, he will definitely withdraw his troops in the future. Don't forget that the northern border is now in a mess, and it is impossible for Colin Angelet to stay in Windhowl Castle for a long time. "
Prince Abbas sneered, and asked, "Then what if the Black Cavalry came to raid the empire before withdrawing to the north?"
Prince Meruwe was suffocated when he heard the words, obviously being asked.
Now the last elite army of the Troll Empire is concentrated in the Troll King City. If the Black Cavalry sweep around the King City and wreak havoc, it will really make the Troll Empire helpless and heart-wrenching.
Just when all the troll nobles were lost in thought, Prince Okamoto, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly spoke again:
"Your Majesty, in fact, Viscount Angelet let me back this time because he asked me to send you a greeting card."
"Greetings?" Modo II asked in surprise, "You mean, Colin Angelet wants to see me?"
"Yes." Prince Okamoto took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Mordo II.
After a hasty glance, Modo II raised his head again, looked at a group of troll nobles who showed curiosity, and said:
"This Colin Angelet wants to ask me to meet outside the royal city to discuss peace talks."
Prince Meruwe immediately shouted: "Your Majesty! This must be a trap, don't fall for it!"
But Prince Abbas said tit for tat: "Your Majesty, maybe Viscount Angelet really wants peace talks, so don't miss out on such a good opportunity."
"Fart!" Prince Meruvi yelled again, "Abbas, you ulterior motive, you actually want His Majesty to go out of the city to meet the enemy, in case something happens to His Majesty..."
"Don't worry about that." Modo II raised the parchment in his hand and explained, "Viscount Angelet set the meeting place five kilometers outside the royal city, and he also promised that the black cavalry would stay at Ten kilometers away.
Moreover, both parties are only allowed to bring one guard to the meeting place. "
Upon hearing this proposal, Prince Meruvi frowned and thought about it, but he didn't say anything to refute it.
Just when Modo II was about to agree to this proposal, Prince Okamoto spoke again: "Your Majesty, I think this may be an excellent opportunity for us."
"What opportunity?" Modo II frowned. He didn't want to pay attention to this defeated general who had just buried a hundred thousand troops, but when he heard the word opportunity, he became more interested.
Prince Okamoto raised his head, with the flames of vengeance shining in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, we can take this opportunity to kill Colin Angelet!"
